Can the Darts do it again?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Davis Darts are the reigning 6A State Champions. They had a great run, and along the way, their schedule really prepared them to make that push in the playoffs. This year, look for three games in their upcoming schedule to be a test for them: Bingham, Pleasant Grove, and American Fork. Davis has a chance to repeat, but they will face some contenders looking to knock them out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Go to Players</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Darts have a few go-to players that they can count on when the game is on the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Player 1: [player_tooltip player_id='1611276' first='Bode' last='Sparrow']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1611276' first='Bode' last='Sparrow'] possesses the complete skillset expected of a guard capable of scoring effectively.

This is a common concern with players who can dominate with the ball, but Turley approaches the game correctly. He's a skilled guard who will handle the ball frequently. Anticipate him to be a playmaker, averaging 5+ assists per game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>The Cast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every team benefits from a group of players who excel in their roles while also supporting and sacrificing for the overall success of the team.
